The area in front of the chest blackens as the fire burns out, leaving an acrid odour to the room. As the flames catch on the ceiling, the black mass flows away from the scorched section, which falls to the floor and splashes into the green slime. By the time the fire has gone out around the chest, it has oozed back into the vacant spot. It appeared dormant before, but now you can see it is shifting around, congealing a larger mass first on one place, then in another.

Thraim watches the black ooze intently before saying, "it's just as I suspected, that thing is alive. I seen similar things before. What do you think? Do you want to kill it and see what's in the chest? Or, do we just the close the door and move on?"

Semina observes the globs reactions as the flames burn out. She notices the one on the ceiling is quite aggravated as it begins to shift around making larger masses, one after another. "Thraim," Semina's tone is uneasy. "We should move on while we can," she pauses "nothing in that room is worth dying for."

Awaiting for the others to respond, Semina retrieves her staff off of her pack so she can close the door more cautiously. "Looks like the one on the ceiling is tick off," she sighs. "If it attacks we might become cornered ," she looks in the direction of the other two rooms and the dead end.

OOC:Could you restate what the doors were made of?

Watching the black mass with evident disgust, Snorri says gruffly, "Any tales told by our people that I have heard describe these foul things as difficult to kill. As much as I'd love to see what's in the box, I'm gonna have to say we'll be better off if we just move on. These things eat metal and flesh, the two things we least want to part with."

"A quick egress is in order," Heathcliffe springs to his heels and, from his northward watch, edges towards the southward door.

"Yes, I concur with the general assessment and let's leave this first room to the foolishly brave," Thraim says to his companions.

Venosha · April 28, 2009, 11:25:31 AM

Semina inches her way closer to the door and uses her staff to shut it quietly, hoping to not aggravate the goo any further. She keeps her distance as it shuts, making herself ready to run in case something pushes back.

"Let's move out," she remarks with a whisper.

Sigmund · April 28, 2009, 03:23:14 PM

Snorri prepares to leap to his comrades' defense if needed, and provide cover for the retreat of the group.

Naren readies (But does not yet cast) Fireball.

Oni Kadaki · April 29, 2009, 12:18:58 AM

Sander, realizing his mace would be rather useless against such a foe, prepares to cast "cause light wounds" and moves back towards the door.

Venosha · April 29, 2009, 10:43:54 AM

All of Snorri's warnings sound off alarms inside Semina's head. She listens intensively for the door latch as she continues to back away from the room. She begins to pull back her staff and walk backwards toward door leading to the first hallway.

"I take it we are finished with this wing," she speaks softly as she keeps her back to her companions.

Drohem · April 29, 2009, 11:03:57 AM

"Yes, let's see what other 'hospitality' waits for us in this chaos-tainted mansion," Thraim says dryly as he motions for Semina to lead forward.

Venosha · April 29, 2009, 12:24:32 PM

Semina looks over at Thraim as she maintains backing up. "I say we continue down the other hallway to the next set of doors," she pauses "but these other rooms are too tempting to check for the Prince we seek."

Semina looks to everyone for advice. "Should we sneak past the first door, and check quickly?" Semina places her staff upon her pack again. "I will voluntary, if other wish to stay and alert me to any activity."

"Snorri," Semina looks to the other dwarf, " you seem to know a bit about these creatures, will they attack?"

OOC: Group decision. Everyone seems to be backing away from the door, but what of the other 2 rooms? If your not backing away from the door, then where is your position?

Drohem · April 29, 2009, 01:04:01 PM

OOC: Let's check out the other rooms. Now that we've closed the door on this room, I'm not really worried about it coming out of the room to attack us.
